[Corey_R]

There are threads in this forum which list the details... current one being MY12

Is $35,750k drive away a decent price for a 3 door candy white with xenons/comfort/sunroof/audio? I would have thought, based on this thread and the long delay in orders, that's at least $1k too much?

Where is the dealership located? Where are you registering the vehicle? What kind of plates were specified?

Base car: $27990
Xenons: $1600
Comfort: $550
Audio: $770
Sunroof: $1900(? or is this letherette?)

Vehicle total is $32810 rrp. Add dealer delivery ($2500 to Epping) Rego ($612) and slimline plate fee($60) you would be looking at a drive away cost of $35982 which is based on my circumstances and where I live so actually crumbs, by the look of it (pending confirmation of the cost of the sunroof) you have actually got a cheaper price. You can ask for a cost breakdown of dealer delivery costs from the dealership and if they refuse to give it to you, then yes, you are being screwed. Burwin for examplpe have a sheet that lists all of the costs for dealer delivery that you can pick up

In NSW I ordered (in Feb) a 3dr candy white, whith xenons/comfort/audio for $33,175 delivered. But I got a pretty good fleet discount by ordering through Private Fleet. So I guess that leaves 2.5k for the sunroof...

At work, so haven't got my contract on me, but think the sunroof is $1600 and e leatherette $1900.
Also very noteworthy, DD not only vary between dealerships in the same State, but within the same dealership.
As Gav mentioned, Burwin do have a print out available as do Barloword Glen Waverley.

In fact they have increased their DD on the Polo GTI from $2495 ( Jan) to $2995 which I found out just on Sat afternoon.
Burwin may have done the same thing.
Our dealerships DD is $2990.

Profiteering at it's finest.

Dealer delivery is just pure profit though, so surely this could be chipped away at?

The dealership is very rural, probably with few sales and apparently with empty allocations for the GTI.

Sure can be chipped away at, just saying DD prices vary and appear to have increased ove the last few months.
So driveway prices will vary also due to this between dealerships

Makes ours sound a pretty good price
It does pay to shop around

I would have jumped at those early prices, sounds like you guys got some amazing bargains before dealers realised they could gouge buyers on DD.

Ummm, not really. See, the charge for dealer delivery is predominantly how much it costs to get your car complianced, put on a transport and delivered. Along with the QA inspection cost and the "car wash", that basically covers dealer delivery.

It's the cost of the car itself that you can move the price on, the capital cities seem to have a monopoly going on with price fixing, "sorry sir, we are not allowed to discount the price of a Polo GTI"... yet you go to a country dealer and they're more than happy to discount normally as GTIJOE found out.
